Deleting legacy playlists?

[ZanderKeen 72]

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this helps or not but in the USER settings under "Manage Server > Users > UserAccount > Access" I checked the .../playlists dir (first one) and the old playlists showed up.



After that I was able to take a playlist, right-click > Add to Playlist > New Playlist which transferred its contents into a new modern playlist with all the bells & whistles of private/collaboration.

Oh yeah, and to delete I found that by checking the Playlists option under "Manage Server > Users > UserAccount > Profile" and scrolling to the "Allow Media Deletion From" section with all the library folders.

I hope this helps any.

Awesome work @Zander3768! That's exactly the info that needs to get put into the KB or launch notes.

I also found out that, we sometimes need to restart server, before the settings stick.

Hi,

I have converted all my playlists to the new format and Location. In my case it went pretty smoothly using the "copy to new playlist" approach.

Anyone know if you can now just delete "\Emby-Server\programdata\data\playlists" from the file system as it is now empty? @Luke

 

Thanks!
